I have used both slicehost in the past and linode and can't complain about either as both were great experiences.
However, last month I moved several of my websites from LayerShift, NearlyFreeSpeech and WebFaction to DO (over the years I had collected family websites and side projects on different hosts). It took just over an hour to configure the droplet and transfer everything. I'm using a $10pm instance, saving me literally $100s a year compared to what I was previously paying. Admittedly most of the websites receive little traffic, however, I also have planet-tolkien.com on the drop which receives 20-60,000 uniques a day – the droplet barely notices. Thumbs up for DO.
- abuzafor 12y agoHi dawson, Thanks for recommending "DO" and sharing in-depth analysis. Thumbs up to your comment!
- ewzimm 12y agoI have to agree that they're both great. I moved from Linode to DO when DO was significantly cheaper, but since Linode has lowered their prices to compensate, there would be no reason not to recommend them, and they have the best reputation for reliability for a VPs. Since I haven't used Linode in a while, I'm not sure if they have some of the extras DO has, like simple snapshot and backup of nodes or free data transfers between servers within a zone. It's also very easy to resize a node and takes only a minute. You would have to ask someone using Linode if they have similar services.
